I have heard that the DEX410R is somewhat difficult to drive, though it is a more aggressive car than the ZX-5 FS2. However, the ZX-5 FS2 is better built and very forgiving.
Any comments?
Thank you! |
Hi Superman,
Well i actually started with DEX410 before i went to FS2 car.
I ran DEX for about 7-8months i could not get on with the car at all.
Yes it was very quick car to drive but it was always letting me down.
I went through £60 worth if not more slippers/spurs & was always chewing rear wheels because of the pins. Dont get me wrong the car was very bonmb proof never broke it but little things let it down for the money. so decided to jump ship as it was costing me way to much money for the bloody thing. I started with FS & straight away my lap times at Worksop was consistant also the car is very very stable you could always catch the car if you felt the rear sticking out. I had the biggest smile on my face. Then thanks to Nick C, he suggested few changes the car was even faster. Next outing i had was the Oople event all weekend the car got better & better was brilliant to drive it jumped so bloody well too. Alot of the guys did comment how well it was going & again thanks for the time from Nick C again.
So i have just got myself the FS2 thats currently being built this weekend ready for the indoors series.
As for strenght i think its very hard car to break tbh. All the time i have been driving i have only ever donefront shock tower than was down to me landing on it at Worksop.
I wouldnt ever go back to the DEX410 even with the new improved car.
Even some of the guys i raced with have now left the DEX410 down the liability issues with the car. Dont get me wrong when it's running right it can reward you with great day but i just never had good time cos it cost me to much money.
But thats my little moan for the morning
If you said Tamiya vs FS2 that would be very diff question to answer
